I just received the notice for amount of my Social Security increase for 2017. I got a 0.03% cost of living raise for 2017! I feel like I won the lottery! Wait a minute. The total increase was wiped out by the increase in the Part B premium increase! That's not a cost of living increase for me, it's a cost of living increase for the insurance. What a ripoff? And that moron, Speaker of the House Ryan wants to eliminate Social Security and Medicare. Any bets he will ask for a cost of living increase for himself and millionaire buddies?
